GoodReader for iPad Adds Encryption, AirPlay, and More

GoodReader for iPad has been updated with encryption, improved PDF Annotations, AirPlay support, and more

With GoodReader on your iPad, you can read virtually anything, anywhere: books, movies, maps, pictures. Use it once and you’ll be hooked. Soon you'll be wondering how you ever managed to use your iPad without GoodReader.

What's New In This Version:
• Data Protection. Now GoodReader takes advantage of iOS's ability to encrypt individual files to make sure your data is secure even if your device gets lost or stolen. ATTENTION!!! Special procedures need to be performed (and also some limitations apply). Be ABSOLUTELY sure to read the "How-To" manual on this feature, if you want to use it.
• Flatten PDF annotations. Now you can flatten your PDF files to embed annotations into the main PDF page body. This will make them visible in all PDF-capable apps (including Mail and Safari), regardless of those apps' inability to display PDF annotations. This also makes your annotations non-editable, which may be useful if you want to prevent your notes and drawings from being altered by someone else. "Flatten" option is also available when sending files from GoodReader via EMail or via "Open In..." menu. GoodReader does the "smart flattening" - it preserves all existing PDF hyperlinks, while flattening notes and drawings.
• Symbolic PDF page labels are now supported. Use symbolic labels (i, ii, iii, etc.) to go to a page. This also addresses the issue when logical page 1 in a PDF document doesn't correspond to physical page 1.
• PDF Annotations: improved compatibility of Typewriter notes and text boxes with Mac's Preview app and Google Docs online viewer. All advanced properties (callouts, cloudy border, etc.) created in GoodReader should now be visible in those apps
• video files can now be played via AirPlay (iOS 4.3 or later)
• fixed the issue when only one audio track was played in the background
• improved connection to certain Microsoft IIS / Sharepoint WebDAV servers
• improved handling of untrusted server certificates when connecting to secure WebDAV, IMAP and POP3 servers
• faster syncing of large amount of small files with some secure servers (iDisk, Dropbox, SugarSync, etc.)
• faster SFTP downloads
• more stable SugarSync connection


You can purchase GoodReader for iPad from the App Store for $4.99.
